The Mondragon Worker Cooperative Corporation

Mondragon started in 1956, creating the first industrial cooperative. Before that, Father Arizmendiarrieta, the leader, the priest, who started with all the projects, started in 1943 creating the school, the technical school. And after that, the students of this school, he pushed to five people to create the first cooperative in 1956—the name at that time, Ulgor; today, Fagor.
